Accles & Shelvoke Acvoke

Accles & Shelvoke Acvoke air pistol - .177 pellet

The Accles & Shelvoke Acvoke is a British air gun manufactured by the Birmingham gunsmiths Accles & Shelvoke from 1945 to 1956. The weapon uses a grip cocking mechanism, whereby the pistol grip is pivoted forward with the trigger guard acting as a linkage to compress a piston which is located concentrically around the barrel. The breech plug (to which a distinctive adjustable rear sight is mounted) pivots forwards with the pistol grip allowing a pellet to be inserted directly into the rear of the barrel, after which the grip can be returned to its normal position and the pistol fired.

The Accles & Shelvoke Acvoke and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

It is available in 3 variants: The standard model with a black slide, the "S" model which has a nickel coated slide, and the "LB" model which has a fake suppressor which shrouds an extended barrel. In some countries the LB variant is also marketed as the Brocock F1. Design wise it is not based on any real world pistol in particular, however it does appear to borrow some elements from the Walther P99 and the Heckler & Koch USP Compact.

A pellet is then loaded from the rear via a removable screw in breech block.

UPS UAR (Urban Assault Rifle) airsoft gun

The gun is available in a range of finishes including black, tan, Kryptek Typhon, Multi-Cam, ATACS AU and ATACS FG. It comes with its own custom magazine, but is also capable of using most AR-15 pattern Airsoft magazines.

Paintball Guns

Kingman Training Eraser

Kingman Training Eraser paintball pistol - .43 caliber

The Kingman Training Eraser is a paintball pistol designed to be similar to real semi-automatic pistol in terms of both size and operation. In order to maintain a size similar to that of a conventional pistol and to have a detachable 9 round magazine within the grip, it fires smaller than average 11mm (.43 caliber) paintballs. It features a slide that must be cocked like on a conventional pistol to load the first shot, however the slide is only used to manually operate the internal blowback bolt meaning that when the pistol is fired the slide does not reciprocate as would be the case on a real firearm. It is available with "Jet Black", "Titanium Grey" and "Racing Green" finishes, although the only part that changes colour is the lower half of the "slide" area.

The Kingman Training Eraser and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
